E. Saucon Street Argument 'Became Physical,' Records Say

A Hellertown woman who was "visibly intoxicated" and had "blood on her hands and under her nails" was charged with assaulting a man early Thursday, court records say.

April Lynn Levy, 32, of the first block of E. Saucon Street, is charged with simple assault and harassment.

Borough Officer Christopher Lee Check writes in a criminal complaint that he and two other officers responded to the E. Saucon Street address at about 12:43 a.m.

According to the complaint:

Check first talked to the man, who had "visible scratches with blood on his neck."

He then talked to Levy, "who was visibly intoxicated..."

Levy told Check there was an altercation, and when the officer asked about the man’s scratches she said "they could have occurred" during the altercation.

The officer writes that while asking Levy if she had any injuries, he noticed "blood on her hands and under her nails."

Meanwhile, the man told another officer that he and Levy were having an argument that "became physical" and Levy scratched his neck.

Levy was arraigned around 5:40 a.m. Thursday by District Judge Jackie Taschner of Palmer Township and committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $5,000 bail.
